Blog 2-The health service in our country
Hello dear reader, in this post I am going to speak and give my opinion about the health service of our country.
As we well know, the health system in Chile works through two types of medical insurance, on the one hand this Fonasa aimed at the public sector, and on the other the Isapres aimed at the private sector. This division, as in education, implies gradual inequalities between the care received by people who can pay for it and those who cannot, something that is quite problematic, if we consider that we are talking about a first need. However, both insurances have drawbacks. While hospitals have to deal with the lack of personnel and supplies, the infrastructure deficit, high demand and long waiting lists, among many others, in the private network people have to pay high prices for services, and the disparity between the plans paid by men and women is disgraceful.
Unfortunately in our country, health is not a right that is insured by the state for all people, but it is a consumer good to which only the most privileged can access.
Obviously such a precarious system needs several improvements, but I think that a first step could be an increase in the budget that is designated for the health area, greater supervision to avoid the misuse of public resources, and a modernization of the operation of the system in general.
Hi paula! you have done a good description of the health care system problem.. If money is more important than people's well-being, nothing can go right. Health should be a right for everyone.
ReplyDeleteYeah, You're right and the way to do this is through the change of the Political Constitution. Because all the systems in our government, such a education and health care are based on a lucrative system, causing poor people to be left behind without quality education and health care. When this two things should be a right.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, if we change the budget is posible to improve the system, because the Health and the education are the most important point of the state.
ReplyDeleteHopefully in the future, problems such as those you mention can be solved, especially the over demand for health facilities, insufficient infrastructure and beds, shortage of medicines and much more.
ReplyDeleteHello Paula, you are very right in what you say, I find it interesting that you have touched on the issue of the disparity between the health prevention system of men and women, I personally had no idea about this. Greetings.
